9 Student Organized Events You Need to Attend

Hey Yall,

People always ask "What does the typical GW student do on the weekend?"

I usually answer that with 10,000 kids it's difficult to summarize all the unique options we have as an school located in downtown Washington, DC. Between the National Mall, the Museums and Zoo, the restaurants and professional sport options it may seem as if students are rarely on campus. And while our lack of a football team is often cited as a lack of school spirit I believe that we more than make up for it through student organized events. 

Below are 9 events you won't want to miss this coming year:

1- Holi
   An Indian festival marked by throwing color pellets at others March
2- Capital Funk Showcase
   G Dub's very own hip hop team brings together other crews to perform April
3- Bake Sales in Ivory Tower
   Sooner or later (probably sooner) you'll walk past a bake sale in Ivory. You should donate. EVERY night.
4- Raas Chaos
    Indian dance group Raas holds an an annual competition of teams from schools in the region November
5- Greek Life Recruitment
    Learn about the sororities and fraternities on campus from the brothers and sisters! Throughout the fall
6- Friday Jazz Fest 
   A friendly group of students play jazz on lazy Friday afternoons in front of Gelman library Spring semester
7- Battle of the A Cappellas
   Class council brings all of the A Cappella teams to battle it out for bragging rights! April
8- Bhangra Blowout

   Bhangra teams from around the country save their best for this annual event April
9- CR/CD Debate

   Recently the College Republicans & Democrats join forces to bring political powerhouses to campus Varies

This certainly is not an exhaustive list but it does include a number of our higher profile events that tend to sell out. Whether you're participating in one of the above, organizing, or simply attending, you'll be sure to hear other students talking about these events!

All the best,

Oscar
